Cardinals defensive end JJ Watt became visibly emotional Sunday after his team’s 26–16 win over the Panthers while fielding questions about a recent health scare.
Watt shocked the NFL world Sunday when just hours before the Carolina game he shared that he dealt with atrial fibrillation earlier in the week. The condition occurs when someone’s heart beats rapidly and irregularly, which eventually could cause a stroke or clot.
In his shocking tweet, he said he decided to share the news because he was informed someone close to him leaked the information and an unnamed publication was going to publish an article on the topic.
